Having a problem in Word and Powerpoint when I change the orientation on the
print dialog box it does not take affect it will print in the layout that is
set in Word. If I change the orientation in Word then it will print. I have
tried multiple pcs and I get the same results they are all running Windows XP
SP2. Has anyone come accross this problem?

Hi esousa,

If both orientations conflict, Word will have to choose one, and it looks
like the File | PageSetup dialog is leading. This is how it works, period.

This Microsoft article states more or less the same:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304433/#E0SF0ADAAA
Look under "Cannot Print in Landscape Orientation". It applies to Word 2000,
but may very well be applicable to Word 2003 as well.

Good luck,
Cooz
